Each Sampler in each thread is a separate instance (of the Java object), so I was just going to check if the sampler instance had been run before or not. Normally a single thread represents a single user, so this would mean first time for each thread (user) in a Thread Group within a test run. This fits in with the way the Cookie Manager works. It might be a lot harder to implement a reset control, and I'm not sure what it would correspond to in terms of a test. > The only thing I can think of that this wouldn't cover would be the > sampled html pages themselves, so it would be a big help.

A proper cache ought to take note of the relevant Header lines and expiry dates etc. > -- > Danny R.
